is martial law really the only option of president duterte in marawi city PHILIPPINES?
I think yes, because for me martial law declaration in Marawi City is the only way to protect the civillian lives and also the only way to eliminate any signs of terrorism in that particular place.
His reputation took a hit after the Marawi operations. It took more than five months for the Philippine army to gain full control of that city. The total deaths numbered more than 1,200 and this incident enabled the ISIS to establish their first major stronghold in the South-east Asian region. Anyway, the operation is over now and civilians are returning to the city.
